Need Some Sage Advice?

Herb your enthusiasm…

ress release from Jo Segrave-Daly, aka The Glendalough Herbalist, issued on Tuesday, October 3rd 2023…

I am a Master Medical Herbalist, Iridologist and Vital Nutritionist and I’m opening a clinic on Church Road this October.

Locals may know me from Brod and Carolines place, Natures Gold. I’m from Norfolk in the UK and have lived in Ireland for ten years. Like a salmon coming home, as my mum was from Offaly. I trained at The Irish School of Herbal Medicine in Laois and I’m accredited by The Irish Association of Master Medical Herbalists.

What is Medical Herbalism?
A Medical Herbalist is a professional health practitioner who uses natural medicines, within a holistic approach, to achieve the health goals of their patients. The holistic approach addresses the physical, mental and spiritual aspects of those who come for care, its emphasis is on the individual by tailoring herbal medicine and treatment plans to each persons needs.

It is a therapeutic approach too that engages our innate ability to self heal and take responsibility within the healing process. Patients are active in their healing, not passive and dependant on just medicine to do this. Positively, illness can be an opportunity for self discovery as it is moved through, not simply bad luck.

Let’s not focus on illness however, as herbs are for preventative care also, they are not just medicines but tonics for life that tone and strengthen organs, and the systems of both our energetic and physical body. Iridology, a natural diagnostic using the iris profile is used to assess where support is best focused. I can’t see what you did last summer, don’t worry, but your iris informs me about the herbal, nutritional and therapeutic advice that’s right for you.

Conditions successfully treated include high blood pressure, IBS, stress, respiratory illness, reflux, prostrate, menopause and infertility. Management plans for serious illness are available with me too.

I am happy to arrange a 15-minute call to answer any questions you may have about Medical Herbalism and how it can benefit you.
